We also delve deep into both the economic and technical needs of the smart home and the internet of things with Paul Brody, from IBM, who has assembled a platform called Adept that he thinks will be idea for connecting devices for the internet of things. The Adept platform will be open source and involve block chain as the transaction processing engine, telehash for data distribution and BitTorrent for exchanging the files between devices. To get to the point where this is possible, Brody has some ideas about the future of embedded processing and then some awesome ideas about where such an architecture will lead us. It’s a good listen, y’all.
